Lewis Hamilton has the bulk of Mercedes running on his shoulders at the moment and he's taken to the track for his out lap.

Although Hamilton said last night that the W08 didn't feel particularly different to drive around Barcelona compared to pre-season testing, he gave the thumbs-up to their striking new upgrade after setting the pace in both practice sessions.

Mercedes also have an improved engine here, but Bottas's issues means he reverts to the older spec for the rest of the weekend. Hamilton is sticking with the brand new power pack, so should theoretically have at least a small power advantage.
